Sep 18, 2015 at 2:19 comment added Graviton @TylerDurden, assume that Kuban is a part of Europe
Sep 17, 2015 at 16:58 comment added Tyler Durden Do you consider the Kuban to be in Europe?
Sep 17, 2015 at 9:53 comment added Graviton @EnergyNumbers, can this make sense? And is it backup by other publication?
Sep 17, 2015 at 7:57 comment added 410 gone @Graviton the answer to that question is, as with your other questions, in the very article you've cited: Maternal line near-eastern, paternal line european. But what is the actual claim you are sceptical of?

Sep 17, 2015 at 0:11 comment added Graviton @EnergyNumbers, so, combining these two evidence, where does that point us to? I'll update the question to make it clearer

Sep 16, 2015 at 13:42 comment added 410 gone @Graviton your claim is "is it true that Ashkenazi Jews are actually more European than Semitic genetically". Whereas the article's claim is that the mitochondrial DNA of Ashkenazi Jews is 80% European, and that 50-80% of the Y-chromosome originated in the Near East.
Sep 16, 2015 at 11:59 comment added Graviton @EnergyNumbers, which part of my question is not aligned with the claim in the article? The article claims that ( as per quoted) European Jews mostly descend from people who left Israel is wrong, and I am asking whether this claim is valid
Sep 16, 2015 at 11:52 comment added 410 gone @Graviton I commented in the hope that it would prompt you to clarify the question: it's best to align the claim you are seeking evidence on, to the actual claim made: when claims in questions here have been modified from their original source, things get very messy, and/or the questions get closed for being unclear.
Sep 16, 2015 at 11:41 comment added Graviton @EnergyNumbers, would you like to expand your comment and make it into an answer?
Sep 16, 2015 at 10:02 comment added 410 gone NB the article's claim is not about DNA generally, but about mitochondrial DNA specifically. Indeed, the article explicitly states that the Y-chromosome evidence goes in the other direction.
Sep 16, 2015 at 8:59 comment added Jamiec Ok, just checking - sometimes people barely understand the differences (including me - and I'm a member of one of those clubs! ;)

Sep 16, 2015 at 8:35 comment added Graviton @Jamiec, no, of course not. I mean "people who descend from Jews who left Israel & Middle East some 2000 years ago"
Sep 16, 2015 at 8:20 comment added Jamiec Where you've asked about "Semitic" did you mean Sephardic?
